Great value

This is a great light for the price- much of the lighting seems overpriced. I was looking for something other than a boob light, which seem to be the majority of lighting options, and this fit the bill. I purchased 2, and only one had the spring clip to remove the glass dome. Also, this is not technically a flushmount light- there is a white metal housing that covers the wiring, and the glass done sits about 1/2"-1" below the mount. If you install the light above your line of sight, then you won't see the mount. However, we installed one of these above a staircase, and you can see the mount at eye level when you walk past the fixture. We didn't care too much, so we just decided to live with it.

Exactly what I expected!

One thing that isn't mentioned in the description on the box is that it has different colored hardware. There was a chrome, black, and white option. I was looking for something with white, but couldn't find anything I liked. I was pleasantly surprised that it gave me three options! Easy to install even for a novice. Simple look which is what I was looking for.

Review 5 for 2-Light Flush-Mount Pewter Ceiling Light

Simple and Classic

Based on reviews, I anticipated the lamp may arrive broken. I ordered two and one glass dome was shattered. The packaging is not intended for mail shipping but store truck delivery. However, the one lamp that was intact was easily installed after I spent a few minutes changing out the dome latches. This was the only lamp in my budget that blended in nicely with art glass sconces I'd purchased for my sunroom. It is not a standout but a simple and clean look for my space. I had the hardest time finding a lamp that wouldn't compete with the other pieces in the room. This was perfect. I haven't returned the broken one yet but don't anticipate problems.

Review 6 for 2-Light Flush-Mount Pewter Ceiling Light

Best lighting decision!

While remodeling we were in search of a flush mount fixture that would produce a lot of light but everything we seemed to view in stores was poor lighting and/or ugly. I found this light online and purchased it out of faith (not carried in our local HD) because it appeared so lovely online.It arrived within 2 days and gives out an amazing amount of light! It also comes with 3 different color clips so that it will match most interiors. The light mounts very close to the ceiling and you don't even notice it against a white ceiling. We have already recommended this light to friends and family looking to purchase something similar.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I bought it because I needed a simple laundry room fixture that was inexpensive and would provide pretty good light. Seemed to fit the bill from the reviews. When I opened the box though the clips looked like an antique gold finish. Never know exactly what to expect with a pewter finish, but I expected some kind of silver tone. This was not even close. I returned the fixture without ever installing.

I love the styling but had a couple of installation gliches

I bought 2 of these for my 12X15 kitchen which I like bright. The kitchen was dim when I used 13Watt soft white CFLs. I switched up to 19Watt daylight CFLs and that helped but the larger bulbs were tight around the glass cover. Lining up the ceiling pan on the nipple was a pain until I used a pen to guide the light. Still, I could never get the pan tight on the ceiling so I am either going to use washers with the thumb screw or replacing the thumb screw with a nut instead. I am planning on buying another one of these lights and installing in my upstairs hallway.

Pros: Stylish, Nice Design

Cons: Difficult to Assemble

Review 9 for 2-Light Flush-Mount Pewter Ceiling Light

from Eagan, MN

So far so good, but glad I read the reviews

Was looking for a simple looking and affordable diffuse light for our small kitchen. Installed today, so far it seems exactly what we were aiming for. Install was simple and quick, even for one person, but I'd recommend having a hook to hang the fixture while you're twisting the wiring. The kit doesn't come with one. Also, another review mentioned that they had to take the fixture down to change the colored fittings. I'm glad I read that, it saved me from having to do the same, as the directions don't mention this at all. Also, the directions show only a single pair of wires to connect, when there are actually a pair for each light, which twist into the single pair coming from the box. If you're used to the whole electrical thing, you wouldn't really think twice about that, but I'm not, and wanted to be sure I wasn't going to set my kitchen on fire by turning the lights on... Also, the fixture is insulated with fiberglass, which you HAVE to touch at some point during the install. Itchy hands and a few splinters later, I have a well lit kitchen, but I'll be using some light gloves if I install another one of these.

Very Nice Looking Light at an Affordable Price.

Installed two of these over the weekend into bedrooms for my new construction home. Very fashionable fixtures which had the same style glass shade (Alabaster) as the light in my kitchen. Also, these lights were half the cost of what the home builder was going to charge me for basic half-dome lights in the bedrooms! Three clips hold the glass shade in place and one of the clips is spring loaded which makes installing & removing the glass shade quick & easy!

A couple items of note: the instructions are laid out weird in that initially, you're led to believe you need to install the glass shade onto the fixture BEFORE you mount the fixture to the ceiling! If you're not an experienced electrician, apply some common sense when reading through these steps. Also, the included mounting bracket comes with a grounding screw attached but the instructions do not tell you what to do with the screw so consult an electrician (or Google) to ensure you are grounding the fixture properly. Otherwise, fairly easy install.

Nice little lights for the price....

We bought a total of five of these lights to replace the builder grade lights we had. They come with three different colors of "supports" to hold the glass shade in place. They're easy to install. The construction is typically for this type of light. They use typical construction: a light weight base, some insulation surrounding the area where the bulbs go, and between the insulation and bulbs is a thin layer of aluminum foil.

Don't expect this to feel heavy when you pick it up. It's a lightweight base. But, it gets the job done and the wife is happy with them. That's what counts, right? lol

They're a big improvement from the old brass lights we had, and the cost was reasonable.

Pros: Easy to Assemble, Looks Great, Stylish, Nice Design

Review 13 for 2-Light Flush-Mount Pewter Ceiling Light

shopper

possibly defective

When using the recommended two 60W incandescent bulbs, the fixture overheats and emits an unpleasant (ozone-like?) odor. I replaced the bulbs with the equivalent CFL bulbs, which eliminated the problem.

Easy Installation - Great Price!

Fixture is easy to install. Dual bulbs make it bright and package comes with three colors of clips to match room decor. The glass shade is whiter in color than shows in the picture.

The only reasons for giving 4 stars are these: the clips are soft plastic. As they hold up the glass I would have preferred a stiffer plastic or other material. Second the spring mechanism for extending one clip to remove the glass shade (for bulb replacement) could have been sturdier. These issues may turn out to be unwarranted but was something I noticed when installing.

I would buy this fixture again.

Review 15 for 2-Light Flush-Mount Pewter Ceiling Light

Very nice looking and easy to install

This is the first lamp I've ever installed and it went very smooth. The lamp is BRIGHT (throws light all 180 degrees). Might not be a good light to install if you have extremely low hands on skills and/or do not know how to read instructions or know basic electric skills and safety. Clamp things come in silver, bronze, and white. Easy to change light bulbs (pull one of the clamps and remove the glass). Light was bright enough to put 40w light bulbs in. Very happy with purchase!

Great value and easy update. Clean look

I've installed 3 of these lights as a part of a bathroom remodel. Install is very quick - about 10 to 15 minutes each, and the look is great. Good light output, and it's nice to have the option to change the mounting spots from the nickel color to white or gold, but I don't see myself ever using those options.

Price is definitely higher than the contractor-type lights, but worth the difference. The glass dome is quite sturdy and easy to remove for cleaning.

love these lights

These light fixtures look great and diffuse light beautifully. The spring-loaded clamp makes changing lightbulbs a breeze. You can use standard-sized lightbulbs as well as candle-shaped and the new spirally CFL ones.
